Protect Yourself in a New York Personal Injury Case
If you are thinking about filing a Personal Injury lawsuit, it is important to get all the facts before moving forward. Regardless, many attorneys rush to put a case in suit as soon as possible, even if there is no pressure to do so. When your settlement is contingent on the diligence with which the case is examined, you want to work with a lawyer who will carefully review the entire situation.
At the law offices of Ken Busman, Attorney at Law, we investigate each case vigorously -- getting as many facts as we can from you and from our own investigation. We have over 30 years of experience representing clients in White Plains, West chester County, Rockland County, and throughout the New York City metropolitan area.

Settle Your Case Efficiently
There is often substantial risk in litigated cases. At the law offices of Ken Busman, Attorney at Law, we pride ourselves in getting good and fair settlements, often in as little as 6-12 months from when we are hired. Most people do not want to worry about a lawsuit lasting as long as three, four, or even five years. Our philosophy is to file suit as a last resort, never as a first option. Our goal is to convince insurance companies that there is a value in settling claims without litigation, if possible, or early during the litigation process.
Build the Strongest Case
To have a viable and potentially valuable Personal Injury claim, the attorney and client must work closely together. A good attorney-client relationship should function like a "three-legged stool." Without all three legs, the stool is not viable. In order for a personal injury claim to be viable, it must contain three legs, or components:
- Clear, strong Liability against the party who caused the accident; and
- Serious or Permanent Injures suffered by the victim; and
- Assets or Insurance that are available to cover an Award or Settlement.
Without even one of these legs, a personal injury claim is not viable. Our role as your attorney is to gather the facts, investigate, and determine if you have a viable and valuable claim. If so, we will work hard to either Negotiate a fair Settlement or, if necessary, Litigate your case.
Personal Injury Cases
We represent clients in a variety of Personal Injury cases, including:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: We represent clients in accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles or semi-trailers.
- Premises Liability: If an Owner, Manager, and/or Tenant Negligently allowed a dangerous condition to exist for an unreasonable amount of time, they may be liable for the injuries that resulted from the accident.
- Construction Accidents: These accidents involve workers at job sites where someone other than the direct employer is responsible for providing a safe working environment. Common accidents include falls from defective ladders, scaffolding accidents, structures under construction, and structures being maintained by building owners, contractors, and/or subcontractors.
- Elevator and Escalator Accidents: We represent clients who suffered injuries resulting from malfunctioning people movers and other products that should have been properly designed, manufactured, and/or maintained.
- Wrongful Death: We represent the Families/Estates of Accident Victims who have died as a result of the Negligence of Individuals, Corporations, Medical Care Providers, and/or other Entities.

Solving Your Marital Problems With You In Mind
Every marriage is a unique, organic relationship. Even though an attorney recognizes patterns and similarities in most marriages, each relationship is different. It is the role of a good lawyer to learn why a particular marriage is breaking up. If the marriage cannot be saved, our goal is to find the least painful and most positive way to allow both marital partners to get on with their lives, while taking care and sensitivity to practice good matrimonial law.
At the law offices of Ken Busman, Attorney at Law, we pride ourselves on doing this for our clients in White Plains, Westchester County, Rockland County, and throughout the metropolitan New York City area. Contact us online or call 914-946-6555 to schedule your free initial consultation.
Over 30 Years of Family Law Experience
We have been serving clients for 30 years, and we are committed to helping our clients find the family law solutions they need. We understand that our clients are often under stress from the breakup of their marriage or other problems. Our role is to help them navigate the legal process as humanely and expeditiously as possible.
When children are involved in a divorce, I feel a special duty to protect them from the fallout. Children should never be pawns in their parents' Custody or Property disputes. We work hard with our clients to help them create a parenting plan that meets the needs of both parents and their children.
Equitable Distribution
In many divorces, the most contentious matter is the Equitable Distribution of Marital Assets; that is, how to fairly divide the "marital pie." It is not possible to even begin discussing the division of the "marital pie" until all the "slices" have been identified and evaluated. The full disclosure of all marital assets is vital for this process to be fairly and honestly conducted.

Helping People Get a Fresh Start for 30 Years
In the past few years, the laws surrounding consumer bankruptcy have become greatly more complex. Although bankruptcy is designed to provide debt relief to consumers and businesses, getting the help you need can be a frustrating endeavor. Because of the changes in the law, clients and their attorneys must present more financial information to successfully support their Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. You can still get out from under overwhelming debt -- if the information you must provide is compiled thoroughly and properly.
At the law offices of Ken Busman, Attorney at Law, we work closely with clients throughout metropolitan New York City and the northern suburbs -- including in White Plains and throughout Rockland County -- to help them find the debt relief they need. Contact us online or call 914-946-6555 to schedule your free initial consultation.
Helping You Find Debt Relief With Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
In addition to producing more financial information, clients are also required to complete two informational courses before their Bankruptcy Petition can be approved by the courts. Even with these new hurdles, our firm has helped numerous debtors successfully discharge their debts.
In many cases, our clients were able to keep their homes and cars while discharging unsecured debt such as Credit Card balances, Medical Bills, and Personal Loans. Although the ability to keep your home or car is dependent on several factors, including its market value, as well as any loans or liens, our goal is always to help our clients keep their property.
Bankruptcy can put an end to creditor harassment, debt collection lawsuits, frozen bank accounts, wage garnishments, and foreclosure. Schedule your free initial consultation with our lawyer. Contact our firm online or call 914-946-6555 to get the fresh start you need.
